A high-contrast serif with strongly flared stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals. The forms pair hairline connections with swelling main strokes, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Serifs and terminals often feel pulled outward rather than bracketed, giving stems a subtly sculpted, tapering finish. Bowls are generous and smooth, counters are open, and curves resolve into pointed tips that keep the texture crisp and bright at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, large-format editorial typography, and brand applications where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It works well for magazine titles, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and poster-style display settings that benefit from an elegant, high-drama serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a polished, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and razor terminals lend a sense of prestige and ceremony, with a contemporary editorial edge rather than a purely traditional book-face feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, display-oriented serif aesthetic by combining sculpted flared endings with extreme contrast and crisp terminals. The goal is likely maximum visual impact and a refined, luxurious tone in larger sizes while maintaining clear letterforms and open counters.
In sample text, the face builds a bold, sparkling typographic color where hairlines and joins become part of the visual character. Round letters (like O and Q) show pronounced contrast and clean interior space, while diagonals and joins in letters like K, V, W, and X read sharp and decisive, reinforcing the premium, high-impact look.
